Tidbits: a hockey dunce talks music.

I’m going to post a tidbits column maybe once a week. This will contain a hodge-podge of thoughts that are half-fleshed out, and also some music recommendations this week. Whenever I start being creative I will find a better name. I’ll also be posting a regular “Dorsey Foresees” column, where I’ll tell you my predictions on the MLB season, the NBA playoffs, MLS etc. Most of which will never happen in a million years.

First, I am a hockey DUNCE, but the Flyers are FILLING IT THE FUH UP against the much-maligned Pens. According to couchpotatohockey.com, the Flyers would need to score 8 goals Wednesday to tie the record for a 4 game series (28 by the ’72 Bruins). This may seem unattainable, but considering they scored 8 the past two games, and they absolutely DISPISE the Pens (hair pulling? come on), do not count them out. The records for 5, 6, and 7 game series are 35 (’83 Oilers), 44 (’85 Oilers), 35 (’95 Flames) respectively.

Secondly, I am going to the Phils / Giants game at AT&T park tonight. Doc Holliday vs the Freak. Really psyched, but also a little worried about the Phils this year. They just need to play well enough until Howard and Chase get back healthy and they’ll be alright. I still think they win the NL East.

Lastly, music.

This dropped last night. I’ve been impatiently waiting for it ever since I heard it existed. I love Amber Coffman. I love the Dirty Projectors. I’m pretty into Major Lazer (they blew up the Pitchfork Music Festival 2 years ago). This is a really great track that lives up to the track I most compare it to Rusko – Hold On (feat. Amber Coffman). TRY and get that song out of your head.

I saw Yuck last night at the Independent in San Francisco. Their new single, Chew is great. Also check out their S/T album.

My friend Simon recently sent me a mixtape, which I think has since been taken down. It was called Drown and was on tumblr somewhere if you can find it. It had this GEM, Balam Acab – Still. Also, why are all my favorite artists at the moment 20 – 24 years old. Damn.

Finally, my friend and former roommate Eric put out an EP under the name Maundrie Fox. I could go on and on about how good I think this is. He inspired me to buy this. My favorite jam is “One Year Sun Shine”.
